While the Sabres will be minus a captain when they report to HSBC Arena for physicals on Thursday, they sound genuinely comfortable with who they are already.

“There’s that small bit of uncertainty surrounding the captaincy position,” Sabres goalie Ryan Miller said, “but I don’t think anybody around here should be worried about it.

“We have a young group, and we might even get younger this year, but I think the core group of guys has seen enough and been around long enough to understand what to expect and to know what kind of attitude you need to have.”
